I know that it’s been a month since I actually went to Chicago. That whole Christmas break thing got in the way of a timely post!! I had an amazing time in Chicago last month for my sister’s bachelorette party. We got facials, did yoga, had our hair done, ate delicious food, and went to…

I have some excellent news for you, Nancy! According to the TSA blog, normal sized makeup does not have to…
